## Yarra

Yarra City Council is composed of three multi-member wards, each electing three councillors.
All five Greens candidates were elected, giving the party a majority − the first time the party had won a majority on any council in Victoria. Two independents and two Independent Socialist candidates were also elected.
The Labor Party endorsed five candidates, including Rowan Payne, who replaced Alicia Carr as one of two candidates in Langridge Ward after she withdrew for family reasons. However, they were unable to win any seats, marking the first time since the council's first election in 1996 that Labor had been without elected representation in Yarra.
The Reason Party endorsed three candidates, while the Liberal Democratic Party and Animal Justice Party had one candidate each. A local group, Richmond First, had two candidates in Melba Ward.
